Helping all #Ubuntu flavours can be as easy as downloading all 22.04 ISO files via torrent and seeding. Help projects save some bandwidth, and users download faster.

Did you know that EFF creates and maintains tools to help protect your privacy online? Privacy Badger blocks invisible trackers, and automatically learns to block more as you use it! It’s available for Chrome, Opera, and Firefox for Android. https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

Our Policy Fellow kicked off discussion on our AI-Assisted Programming and Copyleft mailing list. We're on the long road to figure out what can/should be done about #Microsoft's and #GitHub's for-profit AI (that's trained with our community's #FOSS): https://lists.copyleft.org/pipermail/ai-assist/2022-March/000002.html

@eff We are deeply concerned that governments are pressuring internet companies to interfere with fundamental internet infrastructure. Tinkering with the internet as part of a political or military response is likely to backfire in multiple ways. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/03/wartime-bad-time-mess-internet

We have a winner of our Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 wallpaper contest!
Since the whole selection process was quite the journey for us, and we had a few surprises along the way, I wrote a small blog post about it. I hope you enjoy it. https://ubuntubudgie.org/2022/02/ubuntu-budgie-22-04-wallpaper-contest/

EARN IT “proponents want to frame this as protecting children versus the Internet, but this bill still won’t protect children against really horrible things, and will hurt additional groups of people,” EFF's @imck82 tells @Washingtonpost: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/02/10/senators-earn-it-privacy-children-safety/

We pay to Steam, Netflix, Amazon prime, Spotify. But not to Wikipedia, Archive.org, Librivox, Project Gutenberg, for our favourite Linux distro.
The huge asymmetry between corporate and community has not emerged naturally. It is a product of our choices of not supporting community oriented projects.
The short conveniences vs the long-term good. We always chose the former.
In face of surveillance capitalism, we must and must change.

Today, the @Europarl_En stood up for a free internet and voted for a Digital Services Act that protects free speech and rejects a filternet, made in Europe.

I decided to do a #video on setting up the Pi-Hole to a very basic level. Just enough to make it functional and get the majority of the benefits. #PiHole #RaspberryPi #Linux

Home Assistant for a Newbie
Getting started with Home Assistant, you are presented with lots of options and there is a plethora of opinions to steer you in the "right" direction. The problem I had is that I was paralyzed by the options and, as a consequence, set back my adoption of Home Assistant in my everyday life. In an effort to make this as absolutely as simple and as easy

Got a promotion to Thunderbird Product & BizDev Manager!
When I joined Thunderbird was at $700k annual revenue and the project was considered (un)dead.
Now we're at ~$3m annual revenue, we have 15 full-time ppl - and the product is rapidly improving!
I look forward to creating the best communication tool on the planet.
Future looks bright! 🚀
